It was Ole Miss. It was karma for firing David Cutcliffe.

It has to be Dubose.

Not only did he have Bama's first two losing seasons in almost 50 years, the program (including rogue boosters) had no discipline.

I have to go with Orgeron, he just isn't head coach material.

1. Hallman
2. Orgeron
3. Dubose

Miles is not in this conversation. Has the best record in the length of his tenure of any coach in LSU history. Has a National Championship, SEC championship, 2 BCS bowl wins, 4-0 bowl record, multiple top 10 finishes. Sorry, whether you like him or not, just the facts.

You would have to rank Curry, Shula, Zook, Cutcliffe, Felker, Croom, Price, and a number of other coaches as worse hires than Miles by far.

While I don't thing Cutcliffe was among the top group of worst hires, he certainly long term was worse than Miles. Cutcliffe's downfall was a lack of commitment to recruiting and a certain stubborness about replacing assistants, the latter problem being essentially the same thing that caused DiNardo's dismissal at LSU.
